Abstract

Otolith features such as size and weight were analysed in 656 fish specimens of Chelon auratus, Chelon labrosus, Chelon saliens and Mugil cephalus collected from the Köyceğiz Lagoon System, Aegean Sea, southwest Turkey. The aim was to calculate the asymmetry value of the otolith length (OL), otolith width (OW) and otolith weight (OWe). The asymmetry value of OL was greater than that of OW and OWe. The asymmetry value of the three otolith parameters increased with an increase in the fish's length. The probable cause of asymmetry in the otolith parameters investigated has been determined relative to the variability in growth prompted by ecological impact linked with the disparity in water temperature, salinity, depth and contaminants existing in the Köyceğiz Lagoon System.
